Disappointment is usually a regular event in my life. Mainly because I’m an eternal optimist and just can’t seem to believe that things aren’t going to work out in my favor. Some times I wish I was more pessimistic then maybe I would be a little more even keeled in how I view life. I will say that having my temperament does have it’s advantages when dealing with disappointment. I get over things quickly, I can turn my attention to something new (ADDHD) I make friends easy and I think pretty highly of myself (For those who know me say Amen!).
I still despise disappointment when it happens and If I look at how it happens there is an equation. Let me share it with you and maybe it will help.
1. I put all my hope in people who are frail and fallible just like me.
2. My motives are self-centered
3. I don’t include God
4. I have a temporal view of Life
This surely is an equation for disappointment
